Alex and Val laughed while I gaped at Aubri. “You’re a lesbian?”
“No, I like men, but I’ll have plenty of sex with a man when I marry next year. What I’m curious about is what it would feel like with a woman.”
“I… I…” Words failed me, and I trailed off without forming a sentence.
“Aren’t you curious about what it would feel like with a man?” Aubri asked me.
“No. They don’t turn me on.”
Aubri moved forward and spoke at a fast pace. “I think Banni has a point. This is a golden opportunity for us to do things that we could never do back home. I promise that I’ll never tell anyone if you fuck a hundred women.”
“No one will care how many women I fuck.” I raised my voice. “If anything, they’ll probably be envious, but why would I fuck a hundred women and hurt myself like that?”
“What do you mean, hurt yourself?” Alex asked. “Are you into submission?”
“No, I’m not fucking into submission unless it’s my woman submitting, but I wouldn’t be able to separate my emotions from the sex. If I had sex with a woman, I’d care for her on a deep level.”
The three men laughed. “You’re funny!”
“I’m not joking!”
“You take sex way too seriously, Indiana. It’s supposed to feel good and be fun, that’s all.”
Banni nodded. “Alex is right. Our system would help you because you can’t be with the same woman more than three times. More than that isn’t allowed because falling in love is dangerous.”
Shaking my head from the madness of them talking about sex as if it was nothing important, I leaned forward a little. “Okay, so tell me this: how many have you slept with?”
Val looked up as if he was counting.
“I never sleep with anyone,” Banni said. “Some want me to stay, but I prefer to leave after the sex is over with.”
“Let me rephrase my question then. How many have you had sex with?”
Banni’s shoulders lifted in a shrug. “I have no idea.” Looking to Alex and Val he asked, “Did you two keep count?”
Lifting their brows while turning their lips down, they shook their heads. As always, Val kept quiet while Alex spoke, “No, but if I had to guess, I’d say I have two partners a month, sometimes three.”
“Sex two to three times a month doesn’t sound like much for someone with access to as much sex as you want,” I pointed out.
“We can be with a partner up to three times, so it’s more like six to nine times a month. If I go to a sex club it’s obviously more, but I’m starting to run out of new partners in those clubs.”
“How old were you when you began having sex?” Aubri asked.
“I was close to sixteen,” Banni said.
“Me too,” Alex chimed in.
“If you’ve had two partners a month for more than ten years that means you’ve been with at least two-hundred and forty women.” Aubri couldn’t hide the distaste in her tone.
“I never said it was all women,” Alex corrected her. “I enjoy men too, so it’s probably thirty percent men and seventy percent women.”
Exhaling with a huff, I set my cup down. “Okay, I appreciate you all sharing your liberal view on sex with us, but Aubri and I aren’t here to live out some freaky sexual fantasies.”
“Speak for yourself,” Aubri piped up but I shot her a hard stare.
“How about we change the subject?” Banni suggested with a disarming smile. “Indiana, tell us what you do at home. Did you leave a job behind when you came here?”
“Yes. I work for my father. We deal in mining, trade, and that sort of thing.”
